CleoSoft//Alu Canopy Sofa

Design

Clean geometry sets the tone here. Conceived by Marco Acerbis for Talenti, the profile is crisp and architectural, then softened by a single, graceful gesture: a folding rear canopy that slips over the seating area to create a quiet pocket within a larger setting. It’s a simple move with outsized impact. The canopy doesn’t shout; it delineates. It frames conversation, tempers distraction, and turns an open plan into a series of calm moments. The structure holds its line, yet the attitude is relaxed. That balance—firm outline, easy posture—defines the character from every angle.

The CleoSoft//Alu Canopy Sofa carries that idea without clutter. No fuss, no fussy ornament. Just proportion, shadow, and a silhouette that feels right in both bright daylight and low evening light.

Materials & Build

An aluminum frame anchors the piece, powder-coated to a refined finish that reads as sleek, not showy. The choice is deliberate: aluminum brings strength with a light visual footprint, and the powder coat adds a resilient skin that resists corrosion while keeping the lines sharp. Surfaces stay composed, edges stay true. It’s an eco‑minded material used with restraint, so the form is clear and the sofa never feels heavy.

Hardware and junctions are considered but quiet, allowing the canopy’s fold to operate smoothly and the frame to sit confidently on any hard floor. The result is a build that feels solid in the hand and calm in the room.

Comfort

Comfort comes through in the details you actually feel. Cushions use quick‑dry foam for a responsive sit—supportive without stiffness—so the experience stays welcoming from the first minute to the last. The fabric is water‑resistant, which keeps the seat composed through the pace of daily life. And because the covers are removable, upkeep is straightforward. Zip off, wash, and reset. No drama, just a sofa that’s ready again.

The canopy subtly enhances comfort as well. When folded down, it lends a sense of enclosure that encourages longer conversations and quieter reading. Fold it back and the sofa opens up, inviting a broader, more social mood. One piece, two attitudes.

Placement & Lifestyle

This design excels in open layouts where a little definition goes a long way. Position it to carve out a lounge within a larger living space, or pivot it toward a view to create a personal retreat. The canopy helps organize flow without adding partitions, which makes it especially effective in lofts, generous family rooms, and hospitality settings that need intimacy without walls.

Pair it with low tables or a single floor lamp and the look is complete. Or keep it stand‑alone; the silhouette holds its own. In either case, the CleoSoft//Alu Canopy Sofa fits naturally into contemporary spaces that value clarity and calm, particularly within the Cleo//Alu collection’s measured aesthetic.

Longevity

Materials and maintenance were planned for the long run. The powder‑coated aluminum keeps its composure over time, resisting wear while maintaining a refined surface. Water‑resistant fabrics and quick‑dry foam shorten the downtime between cleanings, and removable covers make care routine rather than a project. But the real longevity comes from the restraint of the design. Nothing feels trendy or overworked, which means it settles in and stays relevant.

Used thoughtfully and cared for simply, the CleoSoft//Alu Canopy Sofa carries forward season after season with the same poised presence that defines Talenti at its best.
